My wife and I did three Colorado tours in three days, each with a different tour group and guide. Phil from Colorado Sightseer was our absolute favorite guide, and this was the best tour of our trip. He had to adjust the itinerary due to controlled burns at the park, but we loved the changes that he made.
Enjoy a beautiful day in one of America's most treasured National Parks! Allow our local guide to safely drive while you enjoy the views. Get out to See, Learn and Explore all the beauty the park has to offer, don't just drive past. Travel through the city of Boulder and the small town of Lyons on your way up to the park. Once inside the National Park enjoy a walk around a snow covered Glacial Lake, carved out and damned by glaciers long ago. Observe herds of elk grazing on rich grasses in Moraine Park. See incredible mountain and park views at Many Parks Curve. Witness the destructive force of Mother Nature while walking around an alluvial fan in Horseshoe Park. Visit the mountain village of Estes Park and have lunch on your own in one of the many restaurants or cafes, stroll the river walk and enjoy souvenir and boutique shopping and visit the Historic Stanley Hotel. Special Note: Wildlife viewing likely but not guaranteed.

Fantastic day out with a very gifted tour guide, Stephen, who looked after all his guests with care and respect. The tour is well put together and goes through amazing sights. Pick-up and drop-off at Union Station were timely. Would recommend 100%, though wish the van had a glass roof!

I'm so glad glad I joined this tour rather than driving myself to the park. The guide was prompt, fun, knowledgeable, and new exactly what to show us. Getting to the park early meant the stops were uncrowded and no waiting in car lines.

The experience was very pleasant. Our guide, Ben Stevens, was very punctual, attentive and told us about history, nature and current affairs. We saw an elk very close and low speed so we could take pictures of him. Spectacular! The bus was very comfortable.

Alex was our tour guide and he was amazing! Tour was as advertised and almost better. Alex was very knowledgeable and made sure we all got the full experience by even pulling over so we could get pics of Elk that were grazing nearby. He was prompt. For our first experience of Colorado- it was an excellent adventure.
